yes mr/mrs mod it's a sport but as the biggest sporting event of the year your average poster who doesn't care enough to wonder into a whole forum dedicated to sports will post in them if they see it in the general forum, as is proven with the popularity of the two threads that was in the gf. plus they've been in the gf for a few days now, if they were going to be moved they should've been moved right away.

yep, they didn't even move the threads to the sports forum, they just got deleted. came here looking for hucks thread but its no where to be found. pityful. whichever mod did that and didn't even have the sense to move them to sports is clearly not up to the job.

Relax trevor. Always a drama queen, eh?

We don't want to "enforce with an iron fist" every thread that references a round ball and dump it in Sports, but I also will not let the General forum become cluttered with "Wow! Great goal!!!!", "[insert name of poncey striker who makes more in a day than I make in a month] is the bestest player in the WORLD!!" and "X draws Y. Suck it, people of Y" threads a dime a dozen per match day.


If this great event can't get some people into the Sports forum, then they probably don't actually care.

Exactly. Over the last few months, the moderation on this site has got more and more reactive - nothing ever happens until enough complaints roll in.

It would be nice if we had a bit more conviction and proactive decisions.

I checked this and no mod touched the thread, so go pick up your toys.

Christ, so you don't even remember what thread, but you are so sure it was removed by an idiot mod?
You were talking about the divegeester thread Thread 130988, weren't you? But you saw the FM message, didn't see "Huck's thread" and went on a a Trev rant?

yeah... it had drifted to page two in less than a day. i blame the lack of gb for the posting surge, clearly we need him back so stop this from happening in the future 😡

anyway, if someone posted a thread 'wow what a goal' or whatever why not just move the thread and pm the user explaining why...? clearly some threads on the world cup will be allowed here, i don't see the need for that mod thread.
